CHRONIC CONDITIONS
INTEGRATED CHRONIC DISEASE CARE PROGRAM (ICDC)
So what is a chronic condition? It’s an illness that is generally long-term and ongoing and refers to a broad range of conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and asthma.
Our ICDC program is fully funded (no cost to clients), and our Care Coordinators will work with you to reduce risks and improve your overall health, particularly if you have diabetes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, or obesity.
This program is available across the regions in various towns throughout the Great Southern, Coastal Wheatbelt, Eastern Wheatbelt and the South-East Coastal Goldfields.
It requires a referral from your GP, and a GP Management Plan.
ALBANY CONNECTED COMMUNITIES PROJECT (ACCP)
The ACCP supports those with unmet social needs who are:
over 65 years of age and/or,
living with a chronic illness and/or,
needing support with lifestyle changes.
The Amity Health Link Team helps people to enjoy life to the fullest by connecting them with the support they need.
Many older adults face challenges such as financial strain, social isolation, food insecurity, transportation issues, low health literacy, unstable or insecure housing and inadequate employment. By connecting program participants to the right support services, we aim to help them to lead a healthier and happier life.
